Famous people

Saint Singaji, a great poet and saint, lived here. He was born in the fifteenth century to a poor gavali (herdsman) family of Khajuri village. He later moved to Piplia village, where he met Saint Manrangeer and dedicated his life to God. He practiced the Nirguna sect of the Hindu religion and became the object of wide popular devotion, especially among the gavalis of the Nimar districts. A fair is held in his holy memory every year on Sharad Purnima at his samadhi place, Piplia-Singaji. Devotees come from many villages in and around the area to gather near his temple, where they offer puja to Singaji Maharaj and sing his bhajans.
